Fast food chain Burger King won their first licenses to sell alcohol in some of its UK restaurants this week - but won't be applying in Manchester.

The Whopper purveyors have been given permission to sell plastic cups of beer at their Bury St Edmunds branch and have applied for three more restaurants - in Blackpool, Newcastle-under-Lyme, and Hull.

We asked the burger chain if they had plans to sell booze at their Manchester city centre branches at Piccadilly Gardens and in Manchester Piccadilly station.

But Burger King bosses served up a big fat 'no', which might leave some of its customers feeling flatter than a pint of week-old mild.

"Alcohol has long been served in several Burger King restaurants that are located in airports and other transit locations in the UK. This is not a new promotion. We have no current plans to roll it out nationally."
